💬 caesrcd commented on pull request "Reduce minrelaytxfee to 100 sats/kvB":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32959#issuecomment-3092509339)
The mempool is already constrained by `DEFAULT_MAX_MEMPOOL_SIZE_MB`, which prevents unbounded transaction accumulation and significantly reduces the feasibility of relay-based DoS attacks. Historically, the network has operated reliably even during extended periods of mempool congestion, where dynamic fee pressure naturally evicts lower-fee transactions.

This proposed configuration provides a practical balance between usability and relay robustness:

You're absolutely right that IBD mode should sync.

Thanks for doing the follow-up!
The major change is that `Peer::TxRelay::m_tx_inventory_to_send` now uses `Wtxid` instead of `GenTxid` while the `Peer::TxRelay::m_tx_inventory_known_filter` bloom filter still uses either `Wtxid` or `Txid` consistently depending on the type of peer.

Only one style-nit in case you re-touch.

It should be in sync but I guess it can't due to highly restrictive block download logic. IBD mode's overly restrictive block download logic https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/net_processing.cpp#L5915

prevents syncing when no preferred download peers are available, causing complete sync failure despite having connected peers.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33018)
There is plenty of test code that exercises the code path for FRESH-but-not-DIRTY coins in CCoinsViewCache. However, we can see there is only one place in production code where we call `SetFresh` that is not preceded by `SetDirty`. This is in `CCoinsViewCache::FetchCoin` and we can see that this is called if the coin retrieved from `base->GetCoin` is spent. The `base` in this case can be another `CCoinsViewCache` or a `CCoinsViewDB`. In `CCoinsViewCache::GetCoin` we can see that we do not return

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33019)
Tried running the make -j $CORES as the bitcoin repo is important to what I'm working with.

The import that is missing is the ```#include <cstdint>```, it gave a plethora of errors.

This is not a bug but i just wanted the community to have a peaceful and seamless integration while building the repo

I agree with this

if(str_std_in.empty()) {
LogPrintf("RunCommandParseJSON: No stdin data to send\n");

Concept ACK, thanks for the cleanup.

I personally would prefer doing every single `LogPrintf` -> `LogInfo` inlining here in a scripted diff (so we can get rid of the alias), with follow-up commits fixing the line endings and formatting and stuff.

And I agree that the warn/error split should be done in a separate PR where we can focus on the context (we could probably do a scripted diff for most of the lines that contain warning/error to cover most of those as well)

Would it be possible to separate the `LogPrintf` inlining from the `__func__` and rewording changes into focused commits?

I personally would find it simpler if we inlined every single `LogPrintf` call here, removed the [alias](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/logging.h#L369-L370) and the [dedicated test](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/logging_tests.cpp#L131), and do the info/warn/error differentiation in a separate PR.
